Amazon Prime: The best TV shows at the moment

Even when, it is not common for Amazon Prime to have a lot of new TV shows or a special season of the year to launch their projects. They compensate for it by having their most popular shows from time to time. And this is a great surprise for the viewers because it is not easy to match a series when you have a lot of options and not always the likes algorithm works well.

For this reason, we made a list of some of the best TV shows on Amazon Prime now, that we can divide into the grown-up team and the little ones. Also, this list is organized by genre, year, number of seasons, etc. 

We want to start with the cartoons that can be for the littles (obviously also the adults): 

Anime/ adult animation

• The Legend of Vox Machina (2022)

This is an Amazon original series, based on the Dungeons & Dragons Twitch stream that became popular. As a result, they created an adult animated fantasy series. The story follows the seven-member team known as Vox Machina that play Level 7 of D&D, working to avenge the murder of the ruler of a town called Whitestone. The series, which will surely appeal to those who love D&D and who got hooked on the Twitch stream, has already been renewed for a second season.

• The Boys Presents: Diabolical (2022)

By summer of 2022, the third season of The Boys appeared. The new story focuses on “unseen stories within The Boy’s universe” and you can expect plenty of hilarity, gore, emotion, and shocking moments that clearly show us that it is not a -safe-for-kids series. With eight episodes in season 1, there is plenty of time to savor this show while anxiously awaiting the return of Homelander, Billy Butcher, Hughie, Starlight, Kimiko, and other fan-favorite characters from the original show. All the shows are based on the Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson DC Comics comic book of the same name.

Of course, each musical journey has a purpose, as the birds aim to solve various problems in each episode.

• Invincible (2021)

Another new Amazon original series, that is already receiving rave reviews. While it is an animated superhero series, Invincible is not a show to watch with the kids. At the heart of the story is Mark Grayson the teenage son of the world’s most powerful superhero, Omni-Man. Once Mark turns 18, he begins to develop his own superhero skills and must balance becoming Invincible with being a typical coming-of-age teenage boy, and learning the truth about his dad. Keep an ear out for the members of the Guardians of the Globe superhero team, loosely based on the Justice League.

• Jessy & Nessy (2020)

It is a great series to watch with the kids. Jessy is a curious young girl who can see the world and objects from a literally different perspective thanks to her Inspectable, magical glasses she can don whenever she wants to know more. As she heads out on various adventures, Jessy is accompanied by her furry best friend Nessy, a 5,000-year-old purple sea monster.

• The Boys (2019)

It is a dark, depraved deconstruction of super-powered heroes and villains. The Boys follows a group of vigilantes who take it upon themselves to police the super-powered heroes who abuse their abilities and take advantage of the trust the public has placed in them. As grim and shockingly violent as it is clever, the series is set in a world in which superpowers, corporate greed, and media consolidation have bled together to create a particularly frightening form of corruption. The audience sees it all through the eyes of Hughie, an average guy whose chance encounter with a superhero changes his life forever.

• Jack Ryan (2018)

Naturally, going into detail about being a single man in his late 20s and early 30s in New York means delving into everything else in his life at that time, including his career and, most importantly, his close-knit group of friends.

Taking Jeff Lindsay’s dark and disturbing novels and turning them into a compelling crime, drama and mystery series, Dexter is easily one of the best shows to ever grace the small screen. The subpar ending aside, the story of a skilled blood-spatter analyst for the Miami police department who moonlights as a vigilante serial killer.
